DENVER -- The Jaguars got an efficient performance from David Garrard, steady work on defense and a fortunate late penalty call that helped them hold on to a win they needed to get to 3-3.

It's a good spot after an 0-2 start, considering they've already faced four division leaders. Now, Jacksonville has a bye followed by match-ups with Cleveland, Cincinnati and Detroit. Those three teams are a collective 1-14.

While Jacksonville missed safety Reggie Nelson, who missed his third straight game with a knee injury, the Broncos were thinned out at receiver and unable to do much for Jay Cutler.
